Focus-Stacking Test: Cornflake
40 Pictures!

Shooted with my 18-55mm kit and a retro-adapter, without focus-stacking. Awesome fun!

My Nuke enhancements:

 Download Nuke-Workgroup

Some notes:
-set the plugin path int he plugin ini.py: (e.g. C:\Program Files\Nuke6.3v7\plugins\ini.py)
“nuke.pluginAddPath(“C:\WORKGROUP_NUKE”, addToSysPath=False)” or a path you like
-put new scripts and gizmos in the right folder and they will register in nuke automatically
-for python-scripts you must import the script itself and the main-function have to named like the script
see WORKGROUP_NUKE\menu.py

New gear for my brain and my pleasureness!

Hardware:
-Sigma 30mm 1:1.4; great lens; i love the bokeh; good for portrait and also for landscapes
-Macro-Rings; uses with my 55-250mm tele lens. with that i can move closer to the focus point; cheaper then a macro lens and it is quite nice

Brainware:
-The HDRI Handbook 2.0; great book; its a big compendium about picture processing besides the hdri stuff; my book of the year, so far…
-PyQt und Pyside; GUI programming; seems to be nice; i havent already checked intensively

Here is my simple versioning python tool for Softimage:

some notes:
-python
-scene, render, cache, passes, capture, camera-slates versioning
-nuke setup builder (passes, channels)
-rendermap sequence
-arnold automatic .tx builder

One of my JAVA-experiments:

A lot of things are not implemented yet, but you get the idea.
I wanna make some new concepts with python and qt….sometimes.

some notes:
-database: mysql
-you can create projects from scratch
-you can create projects from already existing projects (file-base)
-you can create projects from edl´s that comes e.g. from avid
-there is a project parser which sets the links to nuke, djv-player and the file -structure
-there is a timecalculator per shot
-a lot of options to set metadata per shot
-pdf-list exporter
-its very ALPHA and WIP
